'UDY OUTLINE SERIES 



HOME ECONOMICS 



DIETETICS 



TENTATIVE EDITION 

Many clubs are convinced of the advantage 
of studying one subject thruout the season, and 
for this work a carefully prepared program is 
needed. Local or state committees and state 
library commissions have spent time in preparing 
outlines which would be suitable for use else- 
where if they could be made available by print- 
ing. It is proposed in this series to centralize 
such work and to conserve the effort spent in 
making a good outline by putting it in shape for 
distribution. The outlines in this edition are 
printed as originally prepared and they are 
experimental rather than typical. Qubs them- 
selves by an actual testing of the outlines will 
be able to offer suggestion and criticism which 
will lead to a revision of form.

The Study Outline and Its Use 



The series will include outlines on art, litera- 
ture, travel, biography, history and present day 
questions. 

The outlines vary in length. If more topics 
are given than the number of club meetings for 
the season, those topics that are more difficult 
to handle or on which there is less available 
material, may be dropped. If there are fewer 
topics than the scheduled meetings, certain topics 
may be divided. 

Lists of books are appended to some of the 
outlines. It would be well for the club to own 
some of the recommended books. Others can 
be obtained either from the local public library 
or from the state traveling library. When very 
full lists are given it is not necessary for any 
club to use all the books, but the longer list leaves 
more room for choice. 

The best material on some subjects may be 
found, not in books, but in magazines. These 
may be looked up under the subject in the 
Readers* Guide to Periodical Literature. Maga- 
zine articles and illustrated material may be ob- 
tained from the Wilson Package Library. For 
terms see fourth page of cover. 

A partial list of the study outlines now in 
print will be found on page three of this cover. 
For latest additions to the list write to publisher.

STUDY OUTLINE 

ON 

HOME ECONOMICS 

The accoinpanving outline has been prepared keep- 
ing in mind the broadness of the subject, Home Econo- 
mics. For this reason the different phases have been 
touched upon rather than having any one phase taken 

up in detail. . . 

The outline is purely suggestive. The topics m each 
lesson have been subdivided so that as many members 
as possible mav take part. These sub topics may be 
combined, again divided or outside material of special 
interest to the class be substituted if the program com- 
mittee deem such a proceeding advisable. 

In each lesson provisions have been made for the 
discussion of the important happenings of the month. 
The time required for this will vary, five minutes will 
be sufficient -as a rule. 

Reference in food work has been made to Hutchison s 
"Food and Dietetics," Janet Hill's "Practical Cookmg 
and Serving" and Fannv Farmer's "Boston Cooking 
School Cook Book." As the latter are standard cook 
books, members of the club will likely have them, in 
case they have to be bought either would be sufficient. 
"The Farmstead" bv Roberts and Pyle's "Personal 
Hyo-iene" are other 'books which would be good for 
reference material. Anv of these books may be obtained 
from Whitcomb & P)arrows, Publishers, Huntington 
Chambers, Boston, Mass., who make a specialty ot 
home economics books and will send a list of same 
upon request. The encvclopedia has also been referred 
to; this is a valuable source of information which is 
frequentlv overlooked. 

Farmers' bulletin have been given as references. 
These bulletins may be obtained free of charge upon 
application to the editor-in-chief, Division of Publica- 



tions, Department of Agriculture, Washington, D. C. 
as long as the supply lasts. After this they may be 
purchased for a nominal sum from the Superintendent 
of Documents, Government Printing Office, Washing- 
ton, D. C. 

Another valuable source of reference material is the 
traveling libraries sent by many State Library Commis- 
sions . These libraries are usually sent free except for 
express charges and may be retained for several months. 

In the references as given under the topics, Farmer 
refers to "Boston Cooking School Cook Book," by F. M. 
Farmer; Hill, to "Practical Cooking and Serving," by 
J. M. Hill ; and Hutchison, to "Food and the Principles 
of Dietetics," by Robert Hutchison. F. B. is the abbrevi- 
ation for "Farmers' lUilletin." A list of these references 
giving full information follows the outline.

OUTLINES BASED ON THE QUESTION METHOD. 

Note- There has been difference of opinion among those interested in 
the Study Outline Series as to the relative advantage of two methods of 
oresenting the outline: the topical method which assumes that the topics 
given in the program will be assigned to different members, or the ques- 
tion method which assumes that all members of the club will work in 
unison and all be prepared to discuss the questions given for the meeting. 
The topical method calls for a more or less lengthy bibliography, while 
the question method uses a small number of books which each member 
should own. These required books may be supplemented by a collateral 
reading list. In the list given above, South America, Municipal Civtcs^^nd 
The Slav Peoples illustrate the topical method; those listed below illustrate 
the question method.
